amor 112 Posted April 26, 2013 So because this is a cruel waiting game, of course the SS office told me that they had to put a 10 day hold on submitting my application because my EAD was so new. Did I miss anyone covering this topic? Has anyone experienced this? This means that in 10 days, they will finally submit my application and when I receive a letter in the mail, I can get a printout of my SSN. And then my actual card will be mailed to me within 4 weeks after the 10 days. Why can't I have a time machine? 1 esteband reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well - To be honest with you, many dreamers that get approved still have to keep waiting for other stuff, like landing a job (this guy)... Well, by now, we should be masters at the waiting game, so what is ~10 days if you will be good to go after you receive your SSN (it usually takes less than 4 weeks). So hang in there, you are almost there LOL (that statement is staple this time around) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gezinha 121 Posted April 26, 2013 Yes someoone mentioned one time that the administration wasn't able to give them a ssn because the work authorization was so new. This was a while ago and I don't temember who. I applied on a Monday and went back on a Thursday to get the number, not the card, the card arrived in the mail a few days later. But you can go back to the office 2 days later ad ask for your number if you don't want to wait any longer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Osha 126 Posted April 27, 2013 The Social Security Administration have to verify your information with USCIS before generating a Social Security number for you, that might be the reason why there's a slight delay. I waited about a week before going to the SS Administration to apply for a Social Security number and it took a week to receive my card. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I waited about a week before going to the SS Administration to apply for a Social Security number and it took a week to receive my card. I waited exactly a week to go! That's why I was surprised. I read of plenty of people going the day after receiving their EAD and they had a waiting period. But oh well! Hopefully once my application is submitted, it won't take too long!

Tori 38 Posted April 29, 2013 I didn't have to wait. Got my SSN one day and went the next early in the morn. 30 mins later I was done and the card came a few days later. 1 Heisenberg2 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
x_deleted_x 2 Posted May 3, 2013 I didn't have to wait long. I got my EAD in mail and went to SS office same day (lol, an hour later.) Got a print out and everything. Took about 30 mins. 1 lyssa reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
amor 112 Posted June 4, 2013 UGH!!!! Everything is taking painfully long. Almost 8 months to get approved and now 2 months to get my SSN?! Not even the actual card, just a damn printout! It's been 6 weeks and counting and they still haven't received confirmation from USCIS. I was told it could take up to 8 weeks so of course, its going to take the longest possible time! ARGH! Wouldn't be so frustrated if it wasn't so nice out and I didn't have an interview lined up for a job. I want my motorcycle and new job NOW. 1 tania_magaly reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
humco707 0 Posted June 4, 2013 wow that's BS cause I got accepted for EAD on the 29th of May, card came in priority mail yesterday and I went to the SSO today, applied with no problem the guy didn't even mention anything about a 10 day wait. I can either wait for it to come in the mail or go back in two days and request a print out(I'm doing that) Hang in there!! I know how it is waiting I did my biometrics on 17/12/12 and then we got a package from USCIS in April I got so excited but it was a f*cking RFE because my mom didn't send enough evidence -____- , sent it back, 1 week later the evidence was returned cause I didn't put a damn piece of paper that came with the RFE -____________- I found the blue paper and sent it back. Then on the 29th, I got the text alert to check my status I went to my gmail and I was accepted!!!!! You're further in than out take it from me I know exactly how the long ass frustrating wait is.
